""What we've identified here could help improve adherence to vaccination quicker if we target the right people," he says."
""some of the stickier reasons, such as those related to a lack of trust in medicine, are more difficult to overcome ", says Chadeau-Hyam."
More than 1.1 million people in England provided vaccination attitudes and status between January 2021 and March 2022 linked to NHS records. Almost 38,000 people reported some form of vaccine hesitancy (3.3%), with hesitancy peaking at 8% in early 2021, falling to 1.1% at the start of 2022, then rising to 2.2%. Sixty-five percent of initially hesitant people later received one or more vaccine doses. Reasons for hesitancy clustered into eight groups, including efficacy and side-effect concerns, travel difficulties, mistrust of vaccine makers, and personal health concerns. Efficacy and health worries were more often resolved than mistrust-related barriers.
